From time to time someone sends a file that comes in the extension of .FILE
. How do I change this or open this?
I think they might be using Microsoft Word or something like at the office. I don't have Word or any Microsoft programs at home.
I use usually use PDF or JPEG. It isn't for business I am just a home user when I get them.

According to File.org, the
.FILE
extension is just a generic file extension Windows uses. As it explains:So the answer is really, “Who knows?” The best thing to do is to ask whoever sent it to you to explain what kind of file it is. And if you don’t have Microsoft Word, just download LibreOffice which is a free office suite that works on many platforms. If it’s indeed a Word document it should be easy for LibreOffice to open it up and allow you to read or even convert it into another similar format.
